Botulinum toxin A as an adjunct to treatment in the management of the upper limb in children with spastic cerebral palsy (UPDATE)
Brian Hoare,Margaret Wallen,Christine Imms,Elmer Virgil Villanueva,Hyam Barry Rawicki,Leeanne M. Carey +5 more
TL;DR: A combination of BoNT-A and occupational therapy is more effective than occupational therapy alone in reducing impairment, improving activity level outcomes and goal achievement, but not for improving quality of life or perceived self-competence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Outcomes of Intramuscular Botulinum Toxin Type A and Occupational Therapy in the Upper Limbs of Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
TL;DR: OT enhanced individualized functional outcomes following BTX-A injections in the upper limbs of children with CP resulted in accelerated attainment of functional goals measured by the COPM and GAS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modified constraint-induced therapy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy: a randomized trial
Margaret Wallen,Jenny Ziviani,Jenny Ziviani,Olivia Naylor,Ruth Evans,Iona Novak,Robert D. Herbert +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of modified constraint‐induced therapy compared with intensive occupational therapy on activities of daily living and upper limb outcomes in children with hemiplegic CP.

Journal ArticleDOI
